Solution:
From the figure
(i) ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral
Solution:
From the figure
(i) ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral
Ext. ∠DCE = ∠BAD
∠BAD = xo
Now arc BD subtends ∠BOD at the center
And ∠BAD at the remaining part of the circle.
∠BOD = 2 ∠BAD = 2 x
2 x = 150o (x = 750)
(ii) ∠BCD + ∠DCE = 180o
(Linear pair)
∠BCD + 800 = 180o
∠BCD = 1800 – 800 = 100o
Arc BAD subtends reflex ∠BOD at the
Centre and ∠BCD at the remaining part of the circle
Reflex ∠BOD = 2 ∠BCD
Xo = 2 × 100o = 200o
(iii) In ∆ACB,
∠CAB + ∠ABC + ∠ACB = 180o
(Angles of a triangle)
But
∠ACB = 90o
((Angles of a semicircle)
25o + 90o + ∠ABC = 180o
=115o + ∠ABC = 180o
∠ABC = 180o – 1150=65o
ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral
∠ABC + ∠ADC = 180o
(Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral)
65o + xo =180o
xo = 180o -65o = 115o
